Does this ring a bell to anyone?
I could not find anything. The patron is not sure of any of these clues... but 
maybe the collective memory would help here :)
Many thanks,

I seem to recall that the title was something like "High Holy Days" and the

[ha-Safran] Books in a Mikveh

[Micah Salb]

Folks:

Our shul's mikveh is building a small library and they are, understandably, 
worried about the effect of humidity on the books.  Does anyone have any ideas 
about how to keep the books from getting too damaged too quickly?

Re: [ha-Safran] Has anyone encountered this individual?

[Ann Abrams]

Yes, we got this as well, below:



Very warm greetings,


My name is Sam Mandel.  I recently came by your synagogue’s website and
have looked through it and I must say that I am very intrigued by the
historical significance of your synagogue. It seems that Massachusetts used
to be a very burgeoning Jewish community and to a large part has still
maintained a great deal of Jewish life as well as their beautifully built
synagogues. I have a great appreciation for these places of worship.


One of my biggest hobbies is visiting old synagogues and collecting old
Jewish books or “seforim” in Hebrew or English as well as old artifacts and
as such I have a collection at home of all these interesting books and
items that sometimes would not have been appreciated otherwise. I also
enjoy going through the synagogues' gnizas; the place where a synagogue
typically puts their old books that are not in good shape anymore.

I was wondering if there is a time we can meet at the synagogue and go
through what you have in the synagogue and in exchange for some of these
books give a very nice donation or perhaps replace the book with a newer
version to the synagogue to make it worth your time in the event I take
anything.


I can be reached via this email and my cell phone at 347-370-8115
<%28347%29%20370-8115> . Please let me know of your considerations of this.


I thank you in advance.

Re: [ha-Safran] Has anyone encountered this individual?

[Robin Zeitz]

He contacted our congregation as well, actually communicating with our
Temple's President
​, regarding our library and​
 our genizah. We have a small collection, entirely administered by
volunteers.

I expressed a note of caution
​, indicating that I had heard of book dealers who sometimes fished for
valuable items that might not be recognized by the owners​
.
​Your communication makes me even more suspicious.​

As we are entirely administered by volunteers, and have no time anyway, a
polite letter was sent to him indicating that we couldn't accommodate him
at this time.

Regarding books that no longer serve us, we created a small self-serve Book
Shuk for sales to our congregation, but don't expand outside the Temple.
Other items are donated to a local nonprofit, More Than Words
​,​
via a book collection container I arranged to be placed at our parking lot
entrance. (It is also fairly heavily used by the public.)

[ha-Safran] Last call for papers for the World Congress of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem 2017

[Jefferson, Rebecca]

Dear Safranim,

The deadline for proposals to the World Congress of Jewish Studies conference 
in 2017 is rapidly approaching.

I received very few responses to my previous call for ideas, but I think it 
would be great to put forward a panel within the Research Projects and 
Technology Division on Open Access Resources and Digital Initiatives

I can put forward a paper on my Library's collaborative project with the 
Jamaican Jewish Tombstones Research Group to create an online Jewish Jamaican 
Archives database and Digital Humanities project.

Please let me know if you have something that would fit the topic of this panel.

Kind regards,
Rebecca

I am attaching the WCJS posters in English and Hebrew so that you can see the

[ha-Safran] author of Di Yidishe kolonial-bank

[J N]

Greetings all,
I have a copy of the 1901 work Di Yidishe ḳolonial-banḳ : ihr ṭheṭigḳayṭ 
und ihr tsuḳunfṭ / fun Ben-Zeʼev.  The current information in OCLC identifies 
Ben-Ze'ev as Hilel ben Ze'ev Malakhovski (authorized form: Malachowsky, H. 
(Hillel), 1860-1943); the National Library of Israel identifies Ben-Ze'ev as 
David Volfson (authorized form: Wolffsohn, David, 1856-1914).  Neither 
authority record gives substantiating information relating the individual to 
the entity Ben-Ze'ev.  I've also done preliminary online research but have not 
found any resources connecting the Ben-Ze'ev identity with either individuals.  
Does anybody have information or ideas that can help?
Thanks and best wishes,
Jasmin
